Going into her fourth season as the head coach of Lady Buff volleyball, Kim Hudson had already begun the road to success by reaching the Elite Eight in 1989. Despite the graduation of All-American twin sisters Jill and Julie Myatt, another pair of future All-American sisters came to WT from Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1990, and Ana Carolina "Carol" and Ana Cristina "Tita" Pereira promptly led the Lady Buffs to a school-best 38-1 record and the school's first-ever national championship.
The Lady Buffs defeated Chapman in the South Central Regional Final at Tascosa High School in Amarillo, losing just one game, and then in Bakersfield, Calif., at the Elite Eight, WT swept three-game matches over Florida Southern, Portland State, and North Dakota State. The victory over NDSU was 15-0, 15-5, and 15-3.
The following year the Lady Buffs repeated their national championship with a 36-2 mark under new head coach Jim Giacomazzi, who replaced Hudson two weeks prior to the start of the regular season in August 1991. Again in the South Central Regional Final they won at Tascosa High School over LSC rival Angelo State, 15-8, 15-7, and 15-9. And then the Lady Buffs swept three-game matches over Gannon and Florida Southern at the Amarillo Civic Center. In the championship final, played before an NCAA Division II post-season record crowd of 3,188, WT captured another national title with a 15-10, 15-5, 15-12 sweep over Portland State.
Carol Pereira finished her three-year outside hitter career at WT as a three-time first team All-American with school-record best of 2,025 kills, which also the best for a three-year career in NCAA Division II, and a career-best 814 kills in 1992 and a .503 hitting percentage in 1990. In addition, her .457 percentage in 1991 and .438 in 1992 are the fourth and fifth best respectively in Lady Buff history. She also holds two other match individual records.
During her three-year career at WT, the team's record was 104-14, with the two national titles and a third-place finish in 1992.
